@valcaputi i’d have to say to this that the design that he was talking about was far from strictly art related, allot of it was engineering. but yes, this approach should be used in more businesses than it is.

What a shame our belief systems we learn from early childhood make us wear such masks that we fear judgment. grrr

People in their picture were lucky for having a chance to play!
We are all playing with jobs and life. Designer has to concern seriously about play well with conscious. I had rather say ” design is serious play”.

why on Earth would you say that???? TOTALLY disagree…he is sharing an approach that WORKS with you for free…we’re damn lucky

Awesome speach I was taken over! What a realizatoin! in so many elements!
July 23rd, 2010 - 12:54
We all need to realize we’re all playing in the same game, and should be on the same team!

Interesting !!! Children learn about 20 times faster than adults.

legalize lsd – a door/shortcut to the conscious dream state where thoughts can flow freely…

Ya same here. I want to know it all. Enlightenment is great but difficult to find
July 23rd, 2010 - 15:24
lol me too. The appetite for knowledge is unsatiable once you get going. Like they say: once you realize that enlightenment is your potential, you wont settle for anything less. Im down with that.
July 23rd, 2010 - 15:46
What you said about knowledge better understands consciousness. So many say we do not have free will but consciousness shows that our freedom evolves and in a sense we do but only in our choices. I like the arts to. Astrobiology and biophysics are very interesting. Philosophy and Psychology also are interesting to with A.I. I to have a passion for almost everything except war and crime:)

Hard to define since the studies I am drawn to vary so much. Mostly consciousness, music & art, alternative history, astrobiology, and other cool things like that. Basically, Im kind of a music, art & writing guy that got seduced into spirituality lol But its been cool to see how knowledge of consciousness betters your understanding and performance of the arts. (and also how living creatively strengthens your faith in the power of consciousness). Safe to say I havent chosen a major lol

What are you studying?
July 23rd, 2010 - 17:25
that notion is truly, truly awesome!
July 23rd, 2010 - 17:33
Ya it sounds quite crazy but TED talks are about new ideas so its a start. I actually agree with that 100% to because if we did design our own lives and weren’t such products of our own environment the world would work a lot better
July 23rd, 2010 - 18:07
thats true. you could combine design and philosophy together all at once and say we design our own lives. at least our half of it, the world designs the other half u know? lol
July 23rd, 2010 - 18:42
Like we all should be Philosophers to

i liked that one a lot. I have to stop and listen to it again sometime. Designers are the shit, they’ve got such a cool approach to life. We should all be designers, if only in our own way – where we aren’t getting paid for it.
